## Abstract

A securement device for a vascular access device includes a base including a first end, a second end, a first side, a second side, a top surface, and a bottom surface positioned opposite the top surface, with the bottom surface configured to be in contact with a patient's skin surface, a first securing member including a first end connected to the base and a second end opposite from the first end, the second end moveable relative to the base. The first securing member defines a first opening configured to receive a first portion of the vascular access device, and a second securing member includes a first end connected to the base and a second end positioned opposite the first end, the second end moveable relative to the base and the second securing member defining a second opening configured to receive a second portion of the vascular access device.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A secondary securement device for a vascular access device comprising:
a base including a first end, a second end positioned opposite the first end, a first side, a second side positioned opposite the first side, a top surface, and a bottom surface positioned opposite the top surface, the bottom surface configured to be in contact with a patient's skin surface;
a first securing member including a first end connected to the base and a second end positioned opposite from the first end, the second end moveable relative to the base, the first securing member defining a first opening configured to receive a first portion of the vascular access device;
a second securing member including a first end connected to the base and a second end positioned opposite from the first end, the second end moveable relative to the base, the second securing member defining a second opening configured to receive a second portion of the vascular access device.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The secondary securement device of claim 1, the first opening has a first diameter and the second opening has a second diameter larger than the first diameter.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The secondary securement device of claim 1, wherein the first portion of the vascular access device comprises tubing, and wherein the second portion of the vascular access device comprises a connector positioned on the tubing.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The secondary securement device of claim 1, wherein the first and second securing members each have a first position where the base and the first and second securing members are positioned coplanar and a second position where the first and second securing members are positioned at a non-zero angle relative to the base.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The secondary securement device of claim 4, wherein the non-zero angle is 45-135 degrees.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The secondary securement device of claim 1, wherein the first opening comprises a spherical portion and an elongated portion, the elongated portion extending from the second end of the first securing member to the spherical portion.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The secondary securement device of claim 6, wherein the second opening comprises a spherical portion and an elongated portion, the elongated portion extending from the second end of the second securing member to the spherical portion.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The secondary securement device of claim 7, wherein the first and second securing members are defined by a plurality of slits in the base.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The secondary securement device of claim 1, wherein the first and second securing members are moveable relative to the base via a living hinge.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The secondary securement device of claim 1, wherein the bottom surface of the base comprises an adhesive surface.

### Claim 11 (depends on 1)

The secondary securement device of claim 1, further comprising a third securing member including a first end connected to the base and a second end positioned opposite from the first end, the second end moveable relative to the base, the third securing member defining a third opening configured to receive a third portion of the vascular access device.

### Claim 12 (depends on 1)

A method of using the secondary securement device of claim 1, the method comprising:
positioning tubing of the vascular access device within the first opening of the first securing member to secure the tubing; and
positioning a connector of the vascular access device within the second opening of the second securing member to secure the connector.

### Claim 13 (depends on 12)

The method of claim 12, wherein the first opening comprises a spherical portion and an elongated portion, the elongated portion extending from the second end of the first securing member to the spherical portion, and wherein the second opening comprises a spherical portion and an elongated portion, the elongated portion extending from the second end of the second securing member to the spherical portion, the method further comprising:
pushing the tubing of the vascular access device past the elongated portion of the first opening; and
pushing the connector of the vascular access device past the elongated portion of the second opening.
